title: Involvement of protein kinase C activation in endothelin-1-induced secretion of interleukin-6 in osteoblast-like cells.
abstract: We previously reported that endothelin-1 (ET)-1 stimulates phospholipase D (PLD) independently of phosphoinositide hydrolysis in osteoblast-like MC3T3-E1 cells. In the present study, we examined the effect of ET-1 on the secretion of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and the involvement of protein kinase C (PKC) activation in the IL-6 secretion in these cells. ET-1 significantly stimulated IL-6 secretion time-dependently up to 72 h. The stimulative effect was dose-dependent in the range between 1 nM and 1 microM. BQ123, a selective antagonist of endothelinA (ETA) receptor, inhibited the ET-1-induced IL-6 secretion. On the contrary, BQ788, a selective antagonist of endothelinB (ETB) receptor, had no effect. 12-O-Tetradecanoylphorbol-13-acetate (TPA), a PKC-activating phorbol ester, significantly stimulated IL-6 secretion. However, 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate, a PKC-nonactivating phorbol ester, did not affect IL-6 secretion. The effect of a combination of ET-1 and TPA on IL-6 secretion was not additive. Calphostin C, a specific PKC inhibitor, significantly inhibited the ET-1-induced IL-6 secretion. Both ET-1- and TPA-induced IL-6 secretion were reduced in PKC downregulated MC3T3-E1 cells. These results strongly suggest that ET-1 stimulates IL-6 secretion via ETA receptor in osteoblast-like cells and that PKC activation is involved in the ET-1-induced IL-6 secretion.
